I would like to have approx 30 minutes to present the pages at dnsmon.ripe.net which will by then be in beta test moving to production.
Ack.
Do you have any proposal what "deliverables" this can lead to? What can the conclusions be? Recommendations on how/where to build DNS servers, or a document on "trying to measure quality in these ways does NOT reflect real world"?
I.e. can we turn this recurrent presentation into some more general task for the wg?
He he he...at last I managed to stir up some dust. Let me clarify something in the text above. Just like Daniel has pointed out several times in all of his presentations, what Daniel tests is still only the quality of each one of the servers as viewed from the measuring points. It is extremely unclear what conclusions can be made (if any) about the DNS *SERVICE* which the servers deliver together to a random user on the Internet. So, a proposed task might be for this wg is to look at the tool created, and many many other reports (including maybe the report Richard delivered at the last EOF about full service resolver behaviour), and deliver a paper which says _how_ to evaluate where DNS servers should be located. People argue all the time what is "the best" location of servers. Could this not be a good discussion? (It seems to be a good discussion point... ;-) Any takers on being token holder for this "task"? paf
